Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1 cup powdered sugar (optional glaze)
2 tbsp milk or lemon juice (optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until a dough forms.
Fold in chopped strawberries carefully.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round disc.
Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden on the edges.
Cool slightly and drizzle with glaze if desired before serving.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries without thawing to prevent excess moisture.
Add lemon zest for a fresh citrus flavor.
Mix gently to avoid dense or dry scones.
Keep butter cold for best texture.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
